How to Antique a Mirror: Easy DIY Tutorial 

I did mine this morning. Thanks , My mirror turned out great. I used a plastic scraper...it did not scratch.

I’m so delighted RU-vid recommend your Channel. I’m definitely going to try Antiquing my our mirror.

Came out beautiful! I do have a mirror that the reflective part is coming off so im gonna go for it! Thanks💕

I love your diy videos, they're so inspiring! Please keep them coming!

I love, love, love this tutorial!! I've watched a ton of videos on antiquing a mirror, and your has the most authentic look of all! These mirrors lend so much personality to your bedroom makeover. Everyone can have something that looks like a time-worn antique but is only a contemporary mirror.

Really great idea . Modern mirrors just look to bright if you're trying for the vintage or antique look . Thankyou x

Loved the tutorial on your mirror. It turned out so nice. I would love to see more of your techniques, go to products and go to tools. You did a great job in this video explaining your technique. You always make it look so easy and you complete your projects so quickly. You sold a coffee table about 4-6 weeks ago that you had tons of holes/dings with filler. What filler would you use for that project and when would you have just sanded the finish. I would love to see your thought process and close ups of the problem areas. I know those are such basic things, but for a beginner like me it would be very helpful! Love your channel, blog and Instagram.!!!!

Have you ever added anything behind the mirror - I want to add some antique sheet music that will show through portions of it

Love this!!! Please do a DIY on open shelving in kitchens!

I love the idea!! I have a mirror. It is simple but very very large with no frame.. I was thinking about tossing it and getting a new mirror.. these ideas helped me to rethink ❤

Absolutely luv it , great job

Love this!! Thanks so much! Can’t wait to try!

just finished my mirror i am extremely happy it looks awesome. thank you :) 💕

The person who came up with this is a GENIOUS!

Oh, I love this DIY thank you.

Have u tried any just glass? For the "Antique" look? Fabulous Mirror! Thank You!

can’t wait to make my own antique mirror this beautiful sunday afternoon! would love to see a video on how to create an antique effect on metal furniture 💕

Love it! Any ideas on how to achieve this but on mirrored furniture, such as removing the back isn’t possible?

I'm wanting to do a large project with 16"x18" mirrored tiles. Do you have an online resource that has the "silvered" backing on the mirrors? Thanks so much for your tutorial! Beautiful mirror!!

You are a genious! I did follow your steps and my mirror looks stunning! Thank you! Shame I can't send you the pics of my mirror, it looks epic!!

Great tutorial. Wondering if this method might work on convex acrylic mirror? I haven’t bought one yet, so I’m not sure if they have the same kind of paint backing...

This was really helpful and simple. Thank you.

This is amazing! Redoing my cabinets to look like old grey shaker style and wanted to do a couple accent doors. Like the half ones for the spices. So going to try this! Hope my gf likes it! Lol she wont

Thanks for the tutorial! I’m going to give this a try. 😀

Many thanks! I'll try that

I need help on my vinyl record hanging planters. I put a twine through the holes to hang them together. I was thinking about just screwing them on a board from an old picket fence and hang the board like a swing as an alternative.

Awesome. Great work. Ready to do mine and without the acid 🙌

Loovveee this!!!! Keep them coming!!!♥️

Really helpful and really effective - thank you.

awesome tips...thanks

Thanks for this. Great tutorial.

Great video!

Love all your videos ❤️. Please do a detailed video on painting furniture with chalk paint and using a sealing wax. Thanks!

Beautiful! Where did you find the mirrors, I really like the shape?

Tip of the Day: Buy Mirror. Let it set in wet basement for about 5 years and no extra work required. The result is outstanding.

Nice work Jenna. Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to use this process soon in combination with glue-chipping. Cheers.

Thanks for doing the trial and error process for us! The results are remarkable! I love the idea of using gold and bronze. How would you suggest making it look veined? Maybe using a feather to apply the Clorox? And what do you do after spraying Clorox --- let it air dry, pat it dry, or rinsing it off?

GORRRRRGEOUS.

Beautiful love it!!🐸

Great video. Thanks for such awesome tips. Qq. Can I roll black paint in the back instead of spraying it?? Right at the end I mean. Thanks.

Wow... You are amazing. Thank you so much.

I love it too.

Worth trying as the company sent me an estimate starting from 180 euros per sq/m for similar effect

Beautiful. And the video was nice too 😀

Ciekawe czy ma znaczenie jakiego wybielacza użyjemy? Efekt świetny 🙂

Very nice, thank you. You didn't put the mirror back in yourself did you?

Thank you for this informational tutorial. I need help, when I’m diluting the bleach (Clorox) and spraying it it’s not doing any reaction. I tried to use it non diluted, same, no reaction. Only if I pour it directly onto the mirror with large quantity, this is when it works. But this way I cannot get a subtle effect, only large spots of distressing. Any advice?

Well done

Hello, I have a question what paint do you use?Actylic or oil? Thank you:)

When I did my bleach and wiped off like your instructions it stripped all the mirror off and you can see where i wiped it. should i blot instead so it doesn't mess up the pattern? Mine ended up with just large streaks every where not just dots

Jenna Sue got right to the point. She explained what was easy and what would take practice. The background music was just right. There was a great balance between seeing Jenna and seeing the project in progress. This all built my faith in her, and I'm going to subscribe!

Where did you get the mirrors above your nightstands?

What gold color did you use on mirror frame after ?????? Please

Great 👌

Good job you're lucky is looking at the mirror

Lovely Eyes, great project thanks 👍

This is a GREAT and Beautiful video... Note: next time leave out the background music or turn it down lower... You have a beautiful soft voice and the background music made it hard to hear you at times. We just want to HEAR YOU Talk. Thank you for sharing this great video.

Thanks for the video, Foe some reason bleach did not work on my mirror. it was very strange. It worked on 3-4 spots quickly after like 15 minutes and those spots turn out fine, but didn't work on rest of mirror. I tries again and again and again, no luck. I even left the bleach on overnight and still no sign of work. do you know why it worked on some small parts and did not work on the rest ? TIA

It s Beautiful *-* 😺

OMG tganjisoooo much! QUESTION..... I'm new to your channel so I haven't seen all of your videos yet, but I'm wanting to try and get this same effect on a clear window. Do you have any idea how I can get that?

LOVE

What is the chemical name of bleaching mixed here one part in spry bottle

Thx Merci beaucoup 😀👌🇨🇦✌

Thanks Jenna, much better method than the harsh chemicals,

is there anyway to do this with the front? sounds weird but we have mirror walls dont wanna take them down

I used plastic putty knives. Worked well.

Look absolutely beautiful. I didn't have laundry bleach but I did have Clorox Clean-up - worked like a charm. I can't wait to do another one.

Do you know if this technique is achievable if you spray paint will rustoleum mirror effects, let dry, and then spray with bleach? I have glass window I want to make into a mirror with an antique finish. Thanks so much. This is the best example of an truly antique look.

wait did you do all of this to the BACK of the mirror?

I have tried it twice and it does not work for me... I can get the backing of with paintstrippers easily but the bleach does nothing... even if it is not diluted with water and sits for 10 min. I live in Denmark and the bleach is Natriumhypochlorit... do you have an other kind of bleach in the States?

Nice job on the mirror, it looks authentic. You are easy on the eyes as well 😉

🤩👏👏👏👏

Clever girl very pretty mirror now

Well done baby

The bleach isn’t working for me. In your video you say ”wait a few minuets”. I’ve been trying for over 30+. What am I doing wrong? :/

Can you do me a favour . How to make an antique mirror from clear glass

Where are you from? Cann you show me personally?🥰

No harsh chemicals like Muriatic acid, *instantly pulls out paint stripper which is a base equivalent of HCL*, lol, handy hint with the bleach tho.

Love the result! But hate the music why not leave that? I like to listen to my own music while watching video's!

AMAZING... People those mirrors are SUPER expensive

>no harsh chemicals >bleach and citristrip

Good video, just wish we didn't have to listen to the mind numbing backing music while you talked.

You have scary, but beautiful eyes!

Ironically I was searching how to clean up the very spots you are creating

I think the paint stripper removed too much 😭

Are your eyes ok?

Your eyes are so wide open! My question is what kind of drugs are you using? Lol

How to ruin a mirror

Nice video, but your eyes why so serious 🤗

I’ve never seen someone with there eyes so wide open.

Fire up DMT vape pen and get real.

what a mess

As if what you re using are not harsh chemicals

FAR too tediously complicated. I haven't got the life left - other priorities.
